About this house rental

Welcome to the Big Red House, located in the Whitney Park Historic District in Bangor! We’ve made some upgrades and renovations and are excited to share them with you. Pine ceilings have been added, as well as new furniture, memory foam gel mattress toppers, and a renovated master bathroom. Built c. 1869, the BRH is one of the Queen City’s oldest homes. Once owned by sea captains and the father of a US Treasurer, the BRH is the perfect place to stay to experience Bangor, the once lumber capital of the world and one of the busiest ports on the East Coast. Visit the Penobscot Reservation on Indian Island near Old Town (about 20 minutes to the north) to learn about Maine's Penobscot Tribe. And the Bangor Historical Society down the street will shed light on Bangor's French, Irish, and English history.

At the 2600 sf. Big Red House, you'll enjoy a huge eat-in kitchen, 4 bedrooms (2 queen and 2 twin) - our downstairs office has a twin daybed and can be closed off to use as a bedroom, and upstairs laundry, pellet stove, garage, central heat, and private driveway. It's close to downtown, too! Great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and groups. A hop, skip and a jump away from lobster pounds, hiking trails, local theaters, shopping, dining, historical churches, museums, Hollywood Slots casino, and skiing. Check out the Bangor Waterfront along the Penobscot River, and Author, Stephen King's house located right down the street. Dogs welcome (no other pets, please.) And enjoy an edible gift from us to you just for choosing the BRH!
The BRH is a non-smoking property.

(Note: This property is equipped with exterior cameras and any illegal activity is reported directly to local police. Thank you for respecting the BRH.)

We had a wonderful time. Bangor is great to take day trips and has some really great restaurants. Our accommodations were good. We wished there had been dressers, closets or armoires for hanging and storing clothes Otherwise, the house was lovely and very nice.

What a charming home. It was fun walking through all the rooms and seeing the history of the house. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom towels were super plush. Our host, Cindy, was so great to work with. We stayed in the heat of July and Cindy provided fans for the bedrooms since there is no a/c. We were able to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor while we were there. Great downtown to drive through as well. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

This property met our needs for our recent trip. We had one night that was a little warm due to unseasonable Maine heat, but we were otherwise comfortable as the weather cooled in the evenings. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was indeed the gathering spot. We wished for more ceiling fans but realize this is an historic home. It's charm outweighed our concerns.
